Seems Ellen DeGeneres isn't the only funny lady with a wife.
Comedian Wanda Sykes is also married to a woman.
Sykes spoke out this weekend at a rally in Las Vegas protesting the passage
of Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California.
"We took a huge leap forward in electing Barack Obama and then
got dragged about 12 steps back. ... Our community was attacked,"
Sykes told the cheering crowd.
"The New Adventures of Old Christine" star told the audience
that she married her wife on Oct. 25. But she admits she doesn't talk about
her sexual orientation often in public.
However, the recent passage of Proposition 8 has made her so angry
that she has decided to be more vocal.
"If we had equal rights, we shouldn't have to be standing out here
demanding something that we automatically should have as citizens of this country,"
Sykes said.
"... I said, 'You know what, now I gotta get in your face.' And that's what we all have to do now.
They pissed off the wrong group of people! They have galvanized our community.”
